FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a class of novel thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine, their use to treat or prevent viral infections and their use to manufacture a medicine to treat or prevent viral infections, particularly infections with RNA-viruses belonging to the family of the Retroviridae, the family of the Flaviviridae and the family of the Picornaviridae and more preferably infections with Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV1), Human Immunodeficiency Virus 2 (HIV2), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), Dengue virus, and enteroviruses like Coxsackievirus, Rhinovirus and Poliovirus.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines and oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines can be considered as structural analogues of purines, in which the imidazole moiety is replaced by a 1,3-thiazole or 1,3-oxazole ring system. Although purine chemistry is extensively described in literature, the number of medicinal chemistry papers that describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of oxazolopyrimidines and thiazolopyrimidines is limited. Apparently, the oxazolopyrimidine and thiazolopyrimidine scaffold is not very frequently used in drug discovery programs.

However, biological activities of certain thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines and oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines have been reported. 2,5-Diaminothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-one, a thio-isostere of 8-amino-guanine, was found to be a weak inhibitor of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (J. C. Sircar et al. J. Med. Chem. 1986, 29, 1804-1806). Thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines were covered by several patent applications as activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis (WO2008/057402), anti-angiogenic agents (WO2004/01314), growth factor receptor inhibitors (EP1731523), heat shock protein 90 inhibitors (WO2008/059368) and xanthine oxidase inhibitors (WO2007/004688). WO2008/152390 discloses thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines and their use as inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. WO 2008/005303 discloses vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) modulating thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine analogues and their use for the treatment of diseases, such as pain, arthritis, itch, cough, asthma, or inflammatory bowel disease.

2-Aryloxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines have been described as adenosine kinase inhibitors (M. Bauser; et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2004, 14, 1997-2000). 7-Amino-5-phenylethylamino-2-furyl-oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines act as brain A_(2A) adenosine receptor (A_(2A)AR) antagonists (M. H. Holschbach, et al. Eur. J. Med. Chem. 2006, 41, 7-15). 7-(Substituted-cyclopentyl)aminooxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines have been reported to possess tumor growth inhibitory activity (WO/2008/019124). However none of these documents teaches or suggests thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine or oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives having the substitution pattern disclosed by the present invention and their use as antiviral compounds.

A huge number of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines is already known in the art. WO 2007/102679 discloses thienopyrimidines with at position 4 a pyrrole-2,5-dione substituent which strongly inhibits IKB kinase-β (IKK-β) involved in the activation of a transcriptional factor, NF-κB, which is associated with inducing various immune and inflammatory diseases, whereby a composition comprising the compound is a useful therapeutic agent against inflammatory diseases, in particular, arthritis and cancer. WO 2007/084815 discloses 2-carboxamide substituted thieno(2,3-d)pyrimidines inhibitors of one or more of the EGFR, HER-2, c-Src, Lyn, c-Abl, Aurora-A or VEGF kinase proteins and the like possessing anti-tumor cell proliferation activity, and as such are useful in treating or ameliorating a EGFR, HER-2, c-Src, Lyn, c-Abl, Aurora-A or VEGF kinase receptor mediated, angiogenesis-mediated or hyperproliferative disorder.

WO 2006/071988 discloses certain 4,5-disubstituted thienopyrimidine derivatives which are useful for the inhibition of PDE10 enzymes, and thus are useful for treating psychiatric or neurological syndromes, such as psychoses, obsessive-compulsive disorder and/or Parkinson's disease. WO 2004/111057 discloses compounds which are particularly useful for inhibiting potassium channels Kv1.5, which are known targets for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia in the atria such as atrial fibrillation. However, none of these documents teaches or suggests thieno(2,3-d)pyrimidine derivatives having the substitution pattern disclosed by the present invention and their use as antiviral compounds.

Marketed drugs with a purine based skeleton are known. Examples include theophylline (drug for the treatment of asthma) and azathioprine (drug for the treatment of transplant rejection). Anti-cancer drugs with a purine scaffold include 6-mercaptoguanine and thioguanine. Purines are also an important constituent of antiviral nucleosides such as acyclovir (used for the treatment of herpes virus infections) and ganciclovir (medication used for treatment of cytomegalovirus infections). Abacavir and dideoxyadenosine (ddA) are both purine nucleosides acting as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and both compounds are licensed as anti-HIV agents.

Purines display a broad range of biological activities and as a result a huge number of purine analogues is already known in the art. WO 2009/005687 discloses purine derivatives and their use as modulators of Toll-like receptor 7. Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which selectively activate toll-like receptor 7 are useful for treating viral infections in patients. WO 2008/135232 relates to substituted purines and purine derivatives as inhibitors of Aurora A, Aurora B, Aurora C, CHK2, JNK1 α1, JNK3 and abl kinase. These compounds possess antiproliferative properties and are useful in the treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer, leukemia, psoriasis and the like. WO 2008/094737 discloses purine derivatives as inhibitors of calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (PfCDPKI). These purines are useful for treating malaria. WO 2008/090181 relates to a new series of purine derivatives as inhibitors of Janus kinases. JAK3 kinase inhibitors have been recognized as a new class of effective immunosuppressive agents useful for transplant rejection prevention and in the prevention or treatment of immune, autoimmune, inflammatory and proliferative diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, type I diabetes and complications from diabetes, allergic reactions and leukemia. WO 2008/060301 also discloses 7-substituted purine derivatives as immunosuppressive drugs useful for treatment of an autoimmune disease, an inflammatory disease, a mast cell mediated disease, hematological malignancy and organ transplant rejection. However none of these documents teaches or suggests purine derivatives having the substitution pattern disclosed by the present invention and their use as antiviral compounds.

However there is a continuous need in the art for specific and highly therapeutically active compounds, such as, but not limited to, drugs for treating viral infections/diseases such as Polio, Aids, Hepatitis C, Dengue fever and infections with Rhinovirus. In particular, there is a need in the art to provide antiviral compounds, which are active in a minor dose in order to replace existing drugs having significant side effects and to decrease treatment costs.

Accordingly, in view of the relatively few choices for antiviral agents effective in low doses with low toxicity profiles and manageable side effects, there exists a need in the art for identification of alternative antiviral agents for several viral diseases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is based on the unexpected finding that certain combinations of substituents at different positions of the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and purine ring system, said combinations not being suggested by the prior art, are able to meet one or more of the medical needs recited herein above and to show unexpected biological properties, in particular have significant antiviral activity.

The latter include any therapeutically active nontoxic addition salt which compounds represented by structural formula I, II, III, or IV are able to form with a salt-forming agent. Such addition salts may conveniently be obtained by treating the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and purine derivatives of the invention with an appropriate salt-forming acid or base. For instance, thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and purine derivatives having basic properties may be converted into the corresponding therapeutically active, non-toxic acid addition salt form by treating the free base form with a suitable amount of an appropriate acid following conventional procedures. Examples of such appropriate salt-forming acids include, for instance, inorganic acids resulting in forming salts such as but not limited to hydrohalides (e.g. hydrochloride and hydrobromide), sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, diphosphate, carbonate, bicarbonate, and the like; and organic monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acids resulting in forming salts such as, for example, acetate, propanoate, hydroxyacetate, 2-hydroxypropanoate, 2-oxopropanoate, lactate, pyruvate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, maleate, fumarate, malate, tartrate, citrate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzoate, 2-hydroxybenzoate, 4-amino-2-hydroxybenzoate, benzene-sulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, salicylate, p-aminosalicylate, palmoate, bitartrate, camphorsulfonate, edetate, 1,2-ethanedisulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, gluconate, glutamate, hexylresorcinate, hydroxynaphthoate, hydroxyethanesulfonate, mandelate, methylsulfate, pantothenate, stearate, as well as salts derived from ethanedioic, propanediol, butanedioic, (Z)-2-butenedioic, (E)2-butenedioic, 2-hydroxybutanedioic, 2,3-dihydroxybutane-dioic, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic and cyclohexanesulfamic acids and the like.

The pathologic conditions and disorders concerned by the said use, and the corresponding methods of prevention or treatment, are detailed herein below. Any of the uses mentioned with respect to the present invention may be restricted to a nonmedical use (e.g. in a cosmetic composition), a non-therapeutic use, a non-diagnostic use, a non-human use (e.g. in a veterinary composition), or exclusively an in-vitro use, or a use with cells remote from an animal. The invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) one or more thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and/or purine derivatives of this invention, including the ones represented by the structural formula I, II, III, or IV, and (b) one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.

In another embodiment, this invention provides combinations, preferably synergistic combinations, of one or more thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and/or purine derivatives of this invention with one or more biologically active drugs being preferably selected from the group consisting of antiviral drugs. In another embodiment said one or more biologically active drugs are selected from the group consisting of antiviral drugs and/or immunosuppressant and/or immunomodulator drugs. Suitable anti-viral agents for inclusion into the antiviral compositions or combined preparations of this invention include for instance, inhibitors of HIV replication, entoroviral replication (such as replication of Rhinovirus, Poliovirus or Coxsackievirus), Dengue virus replication or HCV replication, such as interferonalfa (either pegylated or not), ribavirin and other selective inhibitors of the replication of HCV, such as a compound falling within the scope of disclosure EP1162196, WO 03/010141, WO 03/007945 and WO 03/010140, a compound falling within the scope of disclosure WO 00/204425, and other patents or patent applications within their patent families or all the foregoing filings.

As is conventional in the art, the evaluation of a synergistic effect in a drug combination may be made by analyzing the quantification of the interactions between individual drugs, using the median effect principle described by Chou et al. in Adv. Enzyme Reg. (1984) 22:27. Briefly, this principle states that interactions (synergism, additivity, antagonism) between two drugs can be quantified using the combination index (hereinafter referred as CI) defined by the following equation: wherein ED_(x) is the dose of the first or respectively second drug used alone (1a, 2a), or in combination with the second or respectively first drug (1c, 2c), which is needed to produce a given effect. The said first and second drug have synergistic or additive or antagonistic effects depending upon CI<1, CI=1, or CI>1, respectively. As will be explained in more detail herein below, this principle may be applied to a number of desirable effects such as, but not limited to, an activity against viral infection or viral replication, an activity against transplant rejection, an activity against immunosuppression or immunomodulation. For instance the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition or combined preparation having synergistic effects against a viral infection and containing: (a) one or more antiviral drugs, and (b) at least one thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and/or purine derivative of the invention, including the ones represented by the structural formula I, II, III, or IV and (c) optionally one or more pharmaceutical excipients or pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of a viral infection. For instance the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition or combined preparation having synergistic effects against immuno-suppression or immunomodulation and containing: (a) one or more immunosuppressant and/or immunomodulator drugs, and (b) at least one thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and/or purine derivative of the invention, including the ones represented by the structural formula I, II, III, or IV and (c) optionally one or more pharmaceutical excipients or pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of autoimmune disorders and/or in transplant-rejections.

Suitable immunosuppressant drugs for inclusion in the synergistic compositions or combined preparations of this invention belong to a well known therapeutic class. They are preferably selected from the group consisting of cyclosporine A, substituted xanthines (e.g. methylxanthines such as pentoxyfylline), daltroban, sirolimus, tacrolimus, rapamycin (and derivatives thereof such as defined below), leflunomide (or its main active metabolite A771726, or analogs thereof called malononitrilamides), mycophenolic acid and salts thereof (including the sodium salt marketed under the trade name Mofetil®), adrenocortical steroids, azathioprine, brequinar, gusperimus, 6-mercaptopurine, mizoribine, chloroquine, hydroxy-chloroquine and monoclonal antibodies with immunosuppressive properties (e.g. etanercept, infliximab or kineret). Adrenocortical steroids within the meaning of this invention mainly include glucocorticoids such as but not limited to ciprocinonide, desoxycorticosterone, fludrocortisone, flumoxonide, hydrocortisone, naflocort, procinonide, timobesone, tipredane, dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, methotrexate, prednisone, prednisolone, triamcinolone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Rapamycin derivatives as referred herein include O-alkylated derivatives, particularly 9-deoxorapamycins, 26-dihydrorapamycins, 40-O-substituted rapamycins and 28,40-0,0-disubstituted rapamycins (as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,665,772) such as 40-O-(2-hydroxy) ethyl rapamycin—also known as SDZ-RAD—, pegylated rapamycin (as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,780,462), ethers of 7-desmethylrapamycin (as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,440,991) and polyethylene glycol esters of SDZ-RAD (as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,331,547).

Suitable immunomodulator drugs for inclusion into the synergistic immunomodulating pharmaceutical compositions or combined preparations of this invention are preferably selected from the group consisting of acemannan, amiprilose, bucillamine, dimepranol, ditiocarb sodium, imiquimod, Inosine Pranobex, interferon-β, interferon-γ, lentinan, levamisole, lisophylline, pidotimod, romurtide, platonin, procodazole, propagermanium, thymomodulin, thymopentin and ubenimex.

Synergistic activity of the pharmaceutical compositions or combined preparations of this invention against immunosuppression or immuno-modulation may be readily determined by means of one or more lymphocyte activation tests. Usually activation is measured via lymphocyte proliferation. Inhibition of proliferation thus always means immunosuppression under the experimental conditions applied. There exist different stimuli for lymphocyte activation, in particular: a) co-culture of lymphocytes of different species (mixed lymphocyte reaction, hereinafter referred as MLR) in a so-called mixed lymphocyte culture test: lymphocytes expressing different minor and major antigens of the HLA-DR type (=alloantigens) activate each other non-specifically; b) a CD3 assay wherein there is an activation of the T-lymphocytes via an exogenously added antibody (OKT3). This antibody reacts against a CD3 molecule located on the lymphocyte membrane which has a co-stimulatory function. Interaction between OKT3 and CD3 results in T-cell activation which proceeds via the Ca²+/calmodulin/calcineurin system and can be inhibited e.g. by cyclosporine A (hereinafter referred as CyA); and c) a CD28 assay wherein specific activation of the T-lymphocyte proceeds via an exogenously added antibody against a CD28 molecule which is also located on the lymphocyte membrane and delivers strong co-stimulatory signals. This activation is Ca²+-independent and thus cannot be inhibited by CyA. Determination of the immunosuppressing or immunomodulating activity of the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine or purine derivatives of this invention, as well as synergistic combinations comprising them, is preferably based on the determination of one or more, preferably at least three lymphocyte activation in vitro tests, more preferably including at least one of the MLR test, CD3 assay and CD28 assay referred above. Preferably the lymphocyte activation in vitro tests used include at least two assays for two different clusters of differentiation preferably belonging to the same general type of such clusters and more preferably belonging to type I transmembrane proteins. Optionally the determination of the immuno-suppressing or immunomodulating activity may be performed on the basis of other lymphocyte activation in vitro tests, for instance by performing a TNF-α assay or an IL-1 assay or an IL-6 assay or an IL-10 assay or an IL-12 assay or an assay for a cluster of differentiation belonging to a further general type of such clusters and more preferably belonging to type II transmembrane proteins such as, but not limited to, CD69, CD71 or CD134.

The synergistic effect may be evaluated by the median effect analysis method described herein before. Such tests may for instance, according to standard practice in the art, involve the use of equipment, such as flow cytometer, being able to separate and sort a number of cell subcategories at the end of the analysis, before these purified batches can be analyzed further.

Synergistic activity of the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention in the prevention or treatment of transplant rejection may be readily determined by means of one or more leukocyte activation tests performed in a Whole Blood Assay (hereinafter referred as WBA) described for instance by Lin et al. in Transplantation (1997) 63:1734-1738. WBA used herein is a lymphoproliferation assay performed in vitro using lymphocytes present in the whole blood, taken from animals that were previously given the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine or purine derivative of this invention, and optionally the other immunosuppressant drug, in vivo. Hence this assay reflects the in vivo effect of substances as assessed by an in vitro read-out assay. The synergistic effect may be evaluated by the median effect analysis method described herein before. Various organ transplantation models in animals are also available in vivo, which are strongly influenced by different immunogenicities, depending on the donor and recipient species used and depending on the nature of the transplanted organ. The survival time of transplanted organs can thus be used to measure the suppression of the immune response.

The pharmaceutical composition or combined preparation with synergistic activity against a viral infection and/or immunosuppression or immunomodulation according to this invention may contain the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and/or purine derivative of this invention, including the ones represented by the structural formulae I, II, III, or IV over a broad content range depending on the contemplated use and the expected effect of the preparation. Typically, the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and/or purine derivative content in the combined preparation is within the range of 0.1 to 99.9% by weight, preferably from 1 to 99% by weight, more preferably from about 5 to 95% by weight.

Auto-immune disorders to be prevented or treated by the pharmaceutical compositions or combined preparations of this invention include both:

-   -   systemic auto-immune diseases such as, but not limited to, lupus         erythematosus, psoriasis, vasculitis, polymyositis, scleroderma,         multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondilytis, rheumatoid arthritis         and Sjogren syndrome; auto-immune endocrine disorders such as         thyroiditis; and     -   organ-specific auto-immune diseases such as, but not limited to,         Addison disease, hemolytic or pernicious anemia, Goodpasture         syndrome, Graves disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura,         insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, juvenile diabetes, uveitis,         Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, pemphigus, atopic         dermatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis,         autoimmune pneumonitis, autoimmune carditis, myasthenia gravis,         glomerulonephritis and spontaneous infertility.

Transplant rejections to be prevented or treated by the pharmaceutical compositions or combined preparations of this invention include the rejection of transplanted or grafted organs or cells (both allografts and xenografts), such as but not limited to host versus graft reaction disease. The term “organ” as used herein means all organs or parts of organs in mammals, in particular humans, such as but not limited to kidney, lung, bone marrow, hair, cornea, eye (vitreous), heart, heart valve, liver, pancreas, blood vessel, skin, muscle, bone, intestine or stomach. The term “rejection” as used herein means all reactions of the recipient body or the transplanted organ which in the end lead to cell or tissue death in the transplanted organ or adversely affect the functional ability and viability of the transplanted organ or the recipient. In particular, this means acute and chronic rejection reactions. Also included in this invention is preventing or treating the rejection of cell transplants and xenotransplantation. The major hurdle for xenotransplantation is that even before the T lymphocytes, responsible for the rejection of allografts, are activated, the innate immune system, especially T-independent B lymphocytes and macrophages are activated. This provokes two types of severe and early acute rejection called hyperacute rejection and vascular rejection, respectively. The present invention addresses the problem that conventional immunosuppressant drugs like cyclosporine A are ineffective in xenotransplantation. The ability of the compounds of this invention to suppress T-independent xeno-antibody production as well as macrophage activation may be evaluated in the ability to prevent xenograft rejection in athymic, T-deficient mice receiving xenogenic hamster-heart grafts.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient” as used herein in relation to pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations means any material or substance with which the active principle, i.e. the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and purine derivative of this invention, including the ones represented by the structural formula I, II, III, or IV, and optionally an antiviral agent and/or an immunosuppressant or immunomodulator may be formulated in order to facilitate its application or dissemination to the locus to be treated, for instance by dissolving, dispersing or diffusing said composition, and/or to facilitate its storage, transport or handling without impairing its effectiveness. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be a solid or a liquid or a gas which has been compressed to form a liquid, i.e. the compositions of this invention can suitably be used as concentrates, emulsions, solutions, granulates, dusts, sprays, aerosols, pellets or powders. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers for use in said pharmaceutical compositions and their formulation are well known to those skilled in the art. There is no particular restriction to their selection within the present invention although, due to the usually low or very low water-solubility of the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and purine derivatives of this invention, special attention will be paid to the selection of suitable carrier combinations that can assist in properly formulating them in view of the expected time release profile. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include additives such as wetting agents, dispersing agents, stickers, adhesives, emulsifying or surface-active agents, thickening agents, complexing agents, gelling agents, solvents, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents (for example phenol, sorbic acid, chlorobutanol), isotonic agents (such as sugars or sodium chloride) and the like, provided the same are consistent with pharmaceutical practice, i.e. carriers and additives which do not create permanent damage to mammals.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be prepared in any known manner, for instance by homogeneously mixing, dissolving, spray-drying, coating and/or grinding the active ingredients, in a one-step or a multi-steps procedure, with the selected carrier material and, where appropriate, the other additives such as surface-active agents, may also be prepared by micronisation, for instance in view to obtain them in the form of microspheres usually having a diameter of about 1 to 10 μm, namely for the manufacture of microcapsules for controlled or sustained release of the biologically active ingredient(s).

Suitable surface-active agents to be used in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and/or wetting properties. Suitable anionic surfactants include both water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active agents. Suitable soaps are alkaline or alkaline-earth metal salts, unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C₁₀-C₂₂), e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures obtainable form coconut oil or tallow oil. Synthetic surfactants include sodium or calcium salts of polyacrylic acids; fatty sulphonates and sulphates; sulphonated benzimidazole derivatives and alkylarylsulphonates. Fatty sulphonates or sulphates are usually in the form of alkaline or alkaline-earth metal salts, unsubstituted ammonium salts or ammonium salts substituted with an alkyl or acyl radical having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulphonic acid or dodecylsulphonic acid or a mixture of fatty alcohol sulphates obtained from natural fatty acids, alkaline or alkaline-earth metal salts of sulphuric or sulphonic acid esters (such as sodium lauryl sulphate) and sulphonic acids of fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. Suitable sulphonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulphonates are the sodium, calcium or alcanolamine salts of dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid or dibutyl-naphtalenesulphonic acid or a naphthalene-sulphonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Also suitable are the corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of phosphoric acid ester and an adduct of p-nonylphenol with ethylene and/or propylene oxide, or phospholipids. Suitable phospholipids for this purpose are the natural (originating from animal or plant cells) or synthetic phospholipids of the cephalin or lecithin type such as e.g. phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerine, lysolecithin, cardiolipin, dioctanyl-phosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphoshatidylcholine and their mixtures.

Suitable non-ionic surfactants include polyethoxylated and polypropoxylated derivatives of alkylphenols, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, aliphatic amines or amides containing at least 12 carbon atoms in the molecule, alkylarenesulphonates and dialkylsulphosuccinates, such as polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, said derivatives preferably containing 3 to 10 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenol. Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with poylypropylene glycol, ethylenediamino-polypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethyleneglycol ether groups and/or 10 to 100 propyleneglycol ether groups. Such compounds usually contain from 1 to 5 ethyleneglycol units per propyleneglycol unit. Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants are nonylphenol-polyethoxyethanol, castor oil polyglycolic ethers, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethyleneglycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Fatty acid esters of polyethylene sorbitan (such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate), glycerol, sorbitan, sucrose and pentaerythritol are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.

Suitable cationic surfactants include quaternary ammonium salts, preferably halides, having four hydrocarbon radicals optionally substituted with halo, phenyl, substituted phenyl or hydroxy; for instance quaternary ammonium salts containing as N-substituent at least one C₈-C₂₂ alkyl radical (e.g. cetyl, lauryl, palmityl, myristyl, oleyl and the like) and, as further substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl and/or hydroxy-C₁₋₄ alkyl radicals. A more detailed description of surface-active agents suitable for this purpose may be found for instance in “McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual” (MC Publishing Crop., Ridgewood, N.J., 1981), “Tensid-Taschenbuch”, 2^(nd) ed. (Hanser Verlag, Vienna, 1981) and “Encyclopaedia of Surfactants” (Chemical Publishing Co., New York, 1981). Structure-forming, thickening or gel-forming agents may be included into the pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations of the invention. Suitable such agents are in particular highly dispersed silicic acid, such as the product commercially available under the trade name Aerosil; bentonites; tetraalkyl ammonium salts of montmorillonites (e.g., products commercially available under the trade name Bentone), wherein each of the alkyl groups may contain from 1 to 20 carbon atoms; cetostearyl alcohol and modified castor oil products (e.g. the product commercially available under the trade name Antisettle).

Gelling agents which may be included into the pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations of the present invention include, but are not limited to, cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose, cellulose acetate and the like; natural gums such as arabic gum, xanthum gum, tragacanth gum, guar gum and the like; gelatin; silicon dioxide; synthetic polymers such as carbomers, and mixtures thereof. Gelatin and modified celluloses represent a preferred class of gelling agents.

Other optional excipients which may be included in the pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations of the present invention include additives such as magnesium oxide; azo dyes; organic and inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide; UV-absorbers; stabilisers; odor masking agents; viscosity enhancers; antioxidants such as, for example, ascorbyl palmitate, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite and the like, and mixtures thereof; preservatives such as, for example, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, propyl gallate, benzylalcohol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben and the like; sequestering agents such as ethylene-diamine tetraacetic acid; flavoring agents such as natural vanillin; buffers such as citric acid and acetic acid; extenders or bulking agents such as silicates, diatomaceous earth, magnesium oxide or aluminum oxide; densification agents such as magnesium salts; and mixtures thereof. Additional ingredients may be included in order to control the duration of action of the biologically-active ingredient in the compositions and combined preparations of the invention. Control release compositions may thus be achieved by selecting appropriate polymer carriers such as for example polyesters, polyamino-acids, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, protamine sulfate and the like. The rate of drug release and duration of action may also be controlled by incorporating the active ingredient into particles, e.g. microcapsules, of a polymeric substance such as hydrogels, polylactic acid, hydroxymethyl-cellulose, polymethyl methacrylate and the other above-described polymers. Such methods include colloid drug delivery systems including, but not limited to liposomes, microspheres, microemulsions, nanoparticles, nanocapsules and so on. Depending on the route of administration, the pharmaceutical composition or combined preparation of the invention may also require protective coatings.

Pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation thereof. Typical carriers for this purpose therefore include biocompatible aqueous buffers, ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, complexing agents such as cyclodextrins and the like, and mixtures thereof.

Other modes of local drug administration can also be used. For example, the selected active agent may be administered by way of intracavernosal injection, or may be administered topically, in an ointment, gel or the like, or transdermal, including transscrotally, using a conventional transdermal drug delivery system. Intracavernosal injection can be carried out by use of a syringe or any other suitable device. An example of a hypodermic syringe useful herein is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,127,118, injection being made on the dorsum of the penis by placement of the needle to the side of each dorsal vein and inserting it deep into the corpora.

Since, in the case of combined preparations including the thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and purine derivative of this invention and an antiviral agent and/or an immunosuppressant or immunomodulator the ingredients do not necessarily bring out their synergistic therapeutic effect directly at the same time in the patient to be treated, the said combined preparation may be in the form of a medical kit or package containing the two ingredients in separate but adjacent form. In the latter context, each ingredient may therefore be formulated in a way suitable for an administration route different from that of the other ingredient, e.g. one of them may be in the form of an oral or parenteral formulation whereas the other is in the form of an ampoule for intravenous injection or an aerosol.

The present invention further relates to a method for preventing or treating at least one disease selected from the group consisting of a viral disorder, immune and auto-immune disorders, transplant rejections, in a patient, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human being. The method of this invention consists of administering to the patient in need thereof an effective amount of a thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and/or purine derivative of this invention, including the ones represented by the structural formula I, II, III, or IV, optionally together with an effective amount of another immunosuppressant or immunomodulator or antineoplastic drug or antiviral agent or phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, such as disclosed above in extensive details. The effective amount is usually in the range of about 0.01 mg to 20 mg, preferably about 0.1 mg to 5 mg, per day per kg bodyweight for humans. Depending upon the pathologic condition to be treated and the patient's condition, the said effective amount may be divided into several sub-units per day or may be administered at more than one day intervals. The patient to be treated may be any warm-blooded animal, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human being, suffering from said pathologic condition.

The preferred compounds of the present invention are non-sedating. In other words, a dose of such compounds that is twice the minimum dose sufficient to provide analgesia in an animal model for determining pain relief causes only transient (i.e. lasting for no more than half the time that pain relief lasts) or preferably no statistically significant sedation in an animal model assay of sedation (using the method described by Fitzgerald et al. in Toxicology (1988) 49:433-9). Preferably, a dose that is five times the minimum dose sufficient to provide analgesia does not produce statistically significant sedation. More preferably, a compound provided herein does not produce sedation at intravenous doses of less than 10 mg/kg per day or at oral doses of less than 30 mg/kg per day. If desired, compounds provided herein may be evaluated for toxicity (a preferred compound is non-toxic when an immunomodulating amount or a cell anti-proliferative amount is administered to a subject) and/or side effects (a preferred compound produces side effects comparable to placebo when a therapeutically effective amount of the compound is administered to a subject). Toxicity and side effects may be assessed using any standard method. In general, the term “non-toxic” as used herein shall be understood as referring to any substance that, in keeping with established criteria, is susceptible to approval by the United States Federal Drug Administration for administration to mammals, preferably humans. Toxicity may be also evaluated using assays including bacterial reverse mutation assays, such as an Ames test, as well as standard teratogenicity and tumorogenicity assays. Preferably, administration of compounds provided herein within the therapeutic dose ranges disclosed hereinabove does not result in prolongation of heart QT intervals (e.g. as determined by electrocardiography in guinea pigs, minipigs or dogs). When administered daily, such doses also do not cause liver enlargement resulting in an increase of liver to body weight ratio of more than 50% over matched controls in laboratory rodents (e.g. mice or rats). Such doses also preferably do not cause liver enlargement resulting in an increase of liver to body weight ratio of more than 10% over matched untreated controls in dogs or other non-rodent mammals. The preferred compounds of the present invention also do not promote substantial release of liver enzymes from hepatocytes in vivo, i.e. the therapeutic doses do not elevate serum levels of such enzymes by more than 50% over matched untreated controls in vivo in laboratory rodents.

Another embodiment of this invention includes the various precursor or “prodrug” forms of the compounds of the present invention. It may be desirable to formulate the compounds of the present invention in the form of a chemical species which itself is not significantly biologically active, but which when delivered to the body of a human being or higher mammal will undergo a chemical reaction catalyzed by the normal function of the body, inter alia, enzymes present in the stomach or in blood serum, said chemical reaction having the effect of releasing a compound as defined herein. The term “prodrug” or “pro-drug” thus relates to these species which are converted in vivo into the active pharmaceutical ingredient.

The pro-drugs of the present invention can have any form suitable to the formulator, for example, esters are non-limiting common pro-drug forms. In the present case, however, the pro-drug may necessarily exist in a form wherein a covalent bond is cleaved by the action of an enzyme present at the target locus. For example, a C—C covalent bond may be selectively cleaved by one or more enzymes at said target locus and, therefore, a pro-drug in a form other than an easily hydrolysable precursor, inter alia an ester, an amide, and the like, may be used.

For the purposes of the present invention the term “therapeutically suitable pro-drug” is defined herein as a compound modified in such a way as to be transformed in vivo to the therapeutically active form, whether by way of a single or by multiple biological transformations, when in contact with the tissues of humans or mammals to which the pro-drug has been administered, and without undue toxicity, irritation, or allergic response, and achieving the intended therapeutic outcome. The present invention will be further described with reference to certain more specific embodiments and examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The following examples are given by way of illustration only.

Example 447: Inhibition of replication of HIV-1 (III_(B) strain) and HIV-2 (ROD strain) in MT-4 cells

In Vitro Antiviral Assays.

Evaluation of the antiviral activity of the compounds against HIV-1 strain III_(B) and HIV-2 strain (ROD) in MT-4 cells was performed using the MTT assay as previously described (Pauwels, R.; Balzarini, J.; Baba, M.; Snoeck, R.; Schols, D.; Herdewijn, P.; Desmyter, J.; De Clercq, E. Rapid and Automated Tetrazolium-based Colorimetric Assay for the Detection of Anti-HIV Compounds. J. Virol. Methods 1988, 20, 309-321 and Tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay for the detection of HIV replication inhibitors: revisited 20 years later. Pannecouque C, Daelemans D, De Clercq E. Nat Protoc. 2008; 3(3):427-34).

Stock solutions (10× final concentration) of test compounds were added in 25 μl volumes to two series of triplicate wells so as to allow simultaneous evaluation of their effects on mock- and HIV-infected cells at the beginning of each experiment. Serial 5-fold dilutions of test compounds were made directly in flat-bottomed 96-well microtiter trays using a Biomek 3000 robot (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, Calif.). Untreated control HIV- and mock-infected cell samples were included for each sample.

HIV-1(III_(B)) (Popovic, M.; Sarngadharan, M. G.; Read, E.; Gallo, R. C. Detection, Isolation and Continuous Production of Cytophatic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patient with AIDS and Pre-AIDS. Science 1984, 224, 497-500) or HIV-2 (ROD) (Barr-Sinoussi, F.; Chermann, J. C.; Rey, F.; Nugeyre, M. T.; Chamaret, S.; Grest, J.; Dauget, C.; Axler-Blin, C.; Vezinet-Brun, F.; Rouzioux, C.; Rozenbaum, W.; Montagnier, L. Isolation of a T-Lymphotropic Retrovirus From Patient at Risk for AIDS. Science 1983, 220, 868-871) stock (50 μL) at 100-300 CCID₅₀ (50% cell culture infectious dose) or culture medium was added to either the infected or mock-infected wells of the microtiter tray. Mock-infected cells were used to evaluate the effect of test compound on uninfected cells in order to assess the cytotoxicity of the test compound. Exponentially growing MT-4 cells (Miyoshi, I.; Taguchi, H.; Kobonishi, I.; Yoshimoto, S.; Ohtsuki, Y.; Shiraishi, Y.; Akagi, T. Type C Virus-producing Cell Lines Derived from Adult T Cell Leukaemia. Gann. Monogr. 1982, 28, 219-228) were centrifuged for 5 min at 1,000 rpm and the supernatant was discarded. The MT-4 cells were resuspended at 6×10⁵ cells/mL and 50-μL volumes were transferred to the microtiter tray wells. Five days after infection, the viability of mock- and HIV-infected cells was examined spectrophotometrically by the MTT assay.

The MTT assay is based on the reduction of yellow coloured 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) (Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium) by mitochondrial dehydrogenase of metabolically active cells to a blue-purple formazan that can be measured spectrophotometrically. The absorbances were read in an eight-channel computer-controlled photometer (Multiscan Ascent Reader, Labsystems, Helsinki, Finland), at two wavelengths (540 and 690 nm). All data were calculated using the median OD (optical density) value of tree wells. The 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC₅₀) was defined as the concentration of the test compound that reduced the absorbance (OD540) of the mock-infected control sample by 50%. The concentration achieving 50% protection from the cytopathic effect of the virus in infected cells was defined as the 50% effective concentration (EC₅₀). The EC₅₀ was determined from a graph with at least four points, each derived from the mean of 2 experiments.

Example 449: HCV-1a, HCV-1b Replicon Potency and Cytotoxicity and HCV 2a Antiviral Potency

A number of compounds were tested for antiviral activity in R-luc cells (harboring a genotype 1b replicon), Gluc-1 cells (harboring a genotype 1a replicon), and against an infectious genotype 2a virus (a tissue culture adapted J6/JFH-1 chimera) (Table 3).

Replicon Potency and Cytotoxicity

GLuc-1 cells (encoding an genotype 1a H-77 replicon) and R-luc cells (harboring a genotype 1b replicon) were treated with serial dilutions of compound (DMSO was used as solvent) for 72 hours. Replicon copy number was measured by bioluminescence and non-linear regression was performed to calculate EC50 values. Parallel plates of replicon cells were treated with the same drug dilutions are assayed for cytotoxicity using the Promega CellTiter-Glo cell viability assay. No measurable cytotoxicity was observed in G-luc cells for any of the compounds (examples 428, 400, 398, 119, 401 and 397) at the highest tested concentrations (CC50 values were >50 μM).

JFH-1 HCV-2a Virus Assay

5000 Lunet-CD81 target cells were plated in each well of a 96-well plate. The next day, compounds were serially diluted in DMSO, mixed with media to obtain the specific compound concentration and added to target cells. After 1 hour incubation with cells, infectious genotype 2a virus (a J6/JFH-1 chimera) was added at an MOI of 1. BILN-2061 was used as a positive control. 72 hours later, cells were lysed and NS3 expression quantified by a europium-labeled NS3 substrate readout.

Example 450: Poliovirus Activity and Cytotoxicity

Poliovirus Methodology

Vero or Hela H cells, subcultured in cell growth medium [MEM Rega3 (Cat. No 19993013; Invitrogen) or MEM (Cat. No 21090; Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FCS (Integro), 5 ml 200 mM L-glutamine (25030024) and 5 ml 7.5% sodium bicarbonate (Vero, 25080060) or 10 ml 1M HEPES (Hela H, 15630)] at a ratio of 1:4 or 1:10 and grown for 7 days in 150 cm² tissue culture flasks (Techno Plastic Products), were harvested and a cell suspension was prepared with a cell density of 25 000 cells/50 μl in assay medium (MEM Rega3, 2% FCS, 5 ml L-glutamine and 5 ml sodium bicarbonate) of which 50 μl was seeded per well at the end of the assay setup.

The compound dilution series was setup employing a Freedom EV0200 liquid handling platform (Tecan). The evaluation of the cytostatic/cytotoxic as well as the antiviral effect of each compound was performed in parallel within one run. A tip change between each dilution step was not deemed necessary for the toxicity profiling. However, to prevent carry-over effects when setting up the antiviral assays, a tip change was performed between each dilution step. The assays were set up as described below.

Compound dilutions were prepared in 100 μl assay medium added to empty wells (96-well microtiter plates, Falcon, BD). Subsequently, 50 μl of a 4× virus dilution in assay medium was added followed by addition of 50 μl of cell suspension. The assay plates were returned to the incubator for 3-4 days, a time at which maximal cytopathic effect is observed.

For the evaluation of cytostatic/cytotoxic effects and for the evaluation of the antiviral effect the assay medium was aspirated, replaced with 75 μl of a 5% MTS (Promega) solution in phenol red-free medium and incubated for 1.5 hours (37° C., 5% CO₂, 95-99% relative humidity). Absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 498 nm (Safire², Tecan) and optical densities (OD values) were converted to percentage of untreated controls.

Analysis of the raw data, quality control of each individual dose-response curve and calculation, if possible, of the EC₅₀ and CC₅₀ values was performed employing ViroDM, a custom-made data processing software package. The EC₅₀ (values derived from the dose-response curve) represent the concentrations at which 50% inhibition of viral replication would be observed. The CC₅₀ (value derived from the dose-response curve) represent the concentration at which the metabolic activity of the cells would be reduced to 50% of the metabolic activity of untreated cells.
